August 2007 Archive

On Friday August 17, I second shot for my good buddy Jen in Riverside. It was the wedding of Angela and Juan (better known as Junior). They were great sports, willing to pose any way we asked them to, without complaint!

This was in the middle of the ceremony, so funny!

I recently started working for Bella Pictures in addition to moving forward with my full time business.

On August 11, I shot my first wedding for Bella with the talented James Hickey from LA. Diana and Gregg were so much fun, very down to earth and super friendly. She is a triathlete and they both enjoy the outdoors. Angels Landing was so perfect for their big day. It’s located in gorgeous scenic Julian overlooking a valley of golden pasture.

I love this shot of Diana watching Gregg and his mom dance. So sweet.

This guest was having a great time dancing!One last shot of the happy couple:

My good friend Heather married her soulmate John on August 4th in an intimate ceremony. The wedding took place at the Oceanside Habor, overlooking the water. The reception was at John’s parents home in Oceanside.

I met Heather and John back in 1999 when we all started working for Best Buy. Heather and I both moved to the Midwest and lost touch (even though were only lived 2 hours away!) We re-connected after I moved back to Cali, and she and John got engaged.

Love the detail on the bridesmaid dresses:

My infamous ring shot. Heather helped me pick the spot because she loves all my ring shots. John and Heather both have an affection for dolphins (you should have seen Heather’s old room!!):

This fits their personality so well:
Us!
Special thanks to my assistant that day, Angel:

Congrats you two, here is your slideshow!

On July 20th, I assisted Michele of Captured Forever at Anthony and Carolina’s Wedding. It was held at the Bahia in Mission Bay. I love this location, it has such a romantic feel!

Isn’t she beautiful?


Last minute touch ups:





Bling bling!

The best part about assisting others is that I can spend the time experimenting with lighting techniques. Here I used an off camera flash to creat some dramatic lighting on each of them. What do you think?
